Christopher Kaczmarek is a New York based artist and educator whose work spans both experimental and traditional practices, including sculpture, site specific installations, performance, video, built circuits and solar-powered objects. His work is often interactive and designed to guide the viewer towards a deeper contemplation about the active and passive roles they play in their inhabited environment. Recent interests have been concerned with the act of walking as a praxis for artistic production, and the shapes in which collective and collaborative settings can be formed to become spaces where imagination and creativity are used in the service of hopeful outcomes.

He has had the opportunity to present work at national and international galleries and festivals such as Art Souterrain in Montreal, Canada; the Trinity College Science Gallery, Dublin Ireland; the Byzantine Museum of Agios Germanos, Prespes Greece; the New York Hall of Science, Queens NY; Real Art Ways, Hartford CT; the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus OH; Art Museum of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Chongqing, China; Art Walk Projects, Edinburgh, Scotland; Walking Art and Relational Geographies International Encounters Girona-Olot-Vic, Catalonia Spain; and the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

Christopher Kaczmarek received an MFA in Visual Art and an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art History, Theory, and Criticism from Purchase College, State University of New York. He has served as Visual Arts Program Coordinator and Chair of the Department of Art and Design, and is currently an Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Art at Montclair State University, New Jersey, USA, and a Fulbright-Nehru Scholar.
